The situation is particularly sensitive, and the queen wants to discuss it with Luo Yuan, but she doesn't dare to call Luo Yuan to the palace.

The queen retreated left and right, and only Yu Yuan and Xiao Jian were left by her side.

Earlier, the decree agreed upon by Yu Yuan and Yu Tuyu had been issued. He explained the emperor's will to the Empress in detail.

But no matter how clever and good Luo Yuan is, it is almost useless for Queen Luo, because in her opinion, from the perspective of winning the throne, the situation is really bad.

The queen's face was extremely ugly.

Before Tu Yu succeeded to the throne, Luo Yuanwei has always been very dissatisfied with his sister Yu Yuanwei, thinking that she is jealous by nature, lacks scheming, has no patience, and is not a person who conspires with great things, but since the enthronement ceremony, the queen's temperament has suddenly undergone a great change, not only to take care of everything very well, but also to regain the holy favor, really showing the bearing of the mother of the world and the demeanor of the mother of the country. What's even more incredible is that the bearing shown by Luo Yuanwei seems to be far better than that of a man, and in the handling of some things, even Luo Yuanwei himself is ashamed. Because of this, more than half a year has passed since he ascended the throne, and Luo Yuan no longer dares to speak to his sister in a condescending tone of teaching and reprimanding as before.

The Empress Luo stared at Luo Yuan and said, "Let me ask you again, did you do the arson?" The "you" in the mouth of the queen naturally refers to Xiao Tuyu and Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan said: "Queen, the minister has said it many times. His Majesty is the biggest victim of this fire. Your Majesty is the Lord who knows the feelings of the people and the world, how can he make such a decision? ”

The queen looked at Yu Yuanxuan coldly. Luo Yuan understood that this was the queen questioning herself, so he smiled bitterly: "The minister will definitely not be so stupid. His Majesty and Rank are one. If Your Majesty loses, it is also a loss of rank. What's more, at the beginning, the minister advocated buying time for Zhi'er by trying to protect the crops. ”

No matter how Luo Yuan explained, Queen Luo just didn't believe him. But why don't she believe it, she can't say it herself, but she doesn't trust Yu Yuanji in her heart, and she always feels that he has other motives to do this evil thing.

Empress Yu said: "Zhi'er is no longer a prince, what should I do next?" ”

Luo Yuan was unwilling to discuss such a confidential matter with the empress in such an unreliable place as the Fushui Academy, so he said, "For the time being, I can only take one step at a time. The top priority is not the matter of Zhi'er, but the business of His Majesty. Stabilize the situation before we can move on to the next step. If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached. ”

As for how to stabilize the situation in the court, Fang Cai, Yu Yuan has already repeatedly stated it. Although the queen was suspicious, she was helpless, and she was a woman in the deep palace who always felt that it was too estranged, so she nodded and said, "Okay." I don't want to get involved in the affairs of foreign courts, you can just do it yourself. Let's talk about my Jane's wedding, my brother still has to worry about this matter. After the funeral, the big wedding is held, and how to inherit Qihe is a university question. Don't Buick rushed anything. This is Jian'er's big thing, and it is also what I, a mother, are most concerned about. You, who are uncles, are also prime ministers, so you must be more dedicated. If it is not handled well, it looks unlucky, and I am afraid that the people will say that our family is ruthless. As soon as a large family was burned, it was indeed not very decent to marry a daughter-in-law and daughter. The situation is already bad, won't it be even more effective for others when the time comes? ”

The queen said this properly. Because they all wanted to turn the tide and turn the tide of the situation, they ignored the negative public opinion that might be brought about by the funeral and joy together. Yu Yuan said sincerely: "Niang Niang is wise. His Majesty and his ministers did ignore the matter. ”

The queen sneered and said, "Hmph! It's not a mother, which of you can have this mind? In your hearts, there is only the throne of Qianyuan Palace! Hum! Don't you know that there is a small matter in the royal family, and every move is watched? ”

Yu Yuan said: "Niang Niang is angry. This is the fault of the minister, the fault of the minister. What Niangniang just said is that the stakes are very high, Rong Chen will go back and think about it, and then report to His Majesty and Niangniang. However, when funerals and happy events are held in succession, the trouble is not the procedural vicariousness, but the nominal excuse. Ministers, Taichangqing, Zongzheng, etc., take a good look for the precedents of the past dynasties, I think they can always be found. In all dynasties, there should be a lot of similar things. ”

The queen shook her hand and said, "Although there are precedents, don't take those precedents into account. Jian'er is my son, that is, my sister-in-law, and his identity is always different from other princes, and even more different from those ordinary clans. I don't know much, and I've never seen the wedding of the son of the queen of that dynasty be held together with a big funeral. Please bother with the crown you are looking for in name, and don't prevaricate me with all those ordinary 'rushes' and stuff. After your initial discussion, come and discuss with me. If it's a hasty prevarication, I won't follow it. ”

Yu Yuan's thought was quick and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang. The minister must do his best. The minister is stupid, and he has not thought of a complete idea at the moment, but there is a ready-made name that can be used. ”

"What's the name?"

"Niangniang, in addition to the funeral and the wedding, there is also the ceremony of reinstating the prince, which is a national event and a great joy that everyone is looking forward to, so you can take the opportunity to make a fuss. What the minister meant, is it said that the great joy of marrying relatives and daughters of the royal family is used to create an atmosphere for such a national event as the restoration of the crown prince. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, such a major event as the restoration of the crown prince is still more important than the royal wedding, funeral, and wedding. In short, it is to transfer the contradiction between the funeral and the joy from the conflict between the big wedding and the funeral to the conflict between the restoration of the prince and the funeral. What does the mother think? ”

This is indeed a ready-made reason, high-sounding and impeccable. The queen nodded, "That's good." Empress Xuanren, how are you going to appease it? ”

"This is a big problem. His Majesty meant to avoid not meeting in order to avoid embarrassment. At the same time, please go to Fengde Palace to talk to Empress Xuanren. That's what the minister means. Later, the minister had already sent a copy of the decree to the Fengdeok Palace. For the time being, it seems that it is better to be so cold. For a while, we can't explain clearly to Fengde Palace. Let's discuss everything after the harvest comes back and the crown prince is restored. The top priority is to take care of her first and stabilize her. The minister thought that as long as the crops were fine, there would not be too many twists and turns on the side of Fengde Palace. After all,......"

Luo Yuanjian originally wanted to say, "After all, Xiao Cheng and none of them are her biological sons", but suddenly thought that Xiao Jian was still standing next to her, if this was said, Xiao Jian would definitely be unhappy, and it was likely to immediately anger the Queen Luo, who loved Xiao Jian very much. Therefore, Yu Yuan closed his mouth vigilantly.

But the queen asked, "After all, what? The Queen was a little impatient.

Yu Yuan changed his words and said, "After all, we don't have any other way now. ”

Queen Yu couldn't listen to Luo Yuan's prevarication and helplessness, so she said, "Brother, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Yu Yuan said: "There is nothing else for the minister. If the mother is fine, the minister will retire first. ”

Queen Yu said, "Okay." Jian'er, send it to your uncle. ”

Xiao Jian nodded very lightly in response, and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." Uncle, please. ”

Xiao Jian sent Luo Yuan to the gate of Fu Shui Academy, and Luo Yuan sat on an inconspicuous sedan chair and quietly left.

Xiao Jian turned into the Fuyuan where Princess Fu lived before, picked up a man wearing a black cloak and covering his face with a large hat on the cloak, and returned to the Jian Courtyard.

"I just want to come to you, too. Unexpectedly, you came by yourself. Or you know my mind best. "Queen Do.

The man took off his cloak and hat, revealing his face.

It turned out to be Liuchuan County Shouhua Chong.

Hua Chong said: "Domeng Niangniang trusts. The minister speculated that Niangniang must be extremely anxious at the moment. Therefore, I dared to ask His Royal Highness the King of Feishui County if he could allow the minister to enter the palace and say a few words to Niangniang. Unexpectedly, the mother agreed. Niangniang was thoughtful, and originally, the minister planned to enter the palace in the name of tribute. It's still the mother's thoughtfulness and arrangements to come to His Royal Highness. Or is it better to do it here. The minister was almost at a loss, and I hope Niangniang will forgive me. ”

This is Hua Chong, in any situation, you can make the other party comfortable by speaking.

The queen really smiled and said, "You are too modest." I'm glad you have this heart. ”

Hua Chong said in a chic but relaxed tone: "Niangniang, but there are orders, and the ministers will go to the soup to fight the fire." ”

The queen waved her hand again and again: "Don't mention the word 'fire' again." A fire has thrown the situation into chaos. ”

Hua Chong said: "The minister lost his words, please forgive the mother." ”

The queen said: "It's okay. I was just terrified by the fire. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm at a loss right now. The holy decree has been issued, and the prince of the rank has been demoted from the prince to the prince of the county, and he has left the county of Canaan. This is really an unexpected change. ”

Hua Chong said: "Niangniang, forgive the minister to say something that exterminates humanity." Now this situation, in my opinion, is more favorable to Niangniang and Prince Jiarong. ”

The queen doesn't care too much, but if it is more beneficial to herself and her rank, the queen will listen to why. "Why?" The queen's tone did not seem surprised, and it sounded gentle.

Hua Chong said: "Niangniang, the minister is brave, dare to ask Niangniang, in the past half a year, in order for Prince Jiarong to win the throne, Niangniang can endure what ordinary people can't bear, what ordinary people can't do, left and right, hard to support the operation, Niangniang is not extremely difficult to deal with?" And the effect, is it very unsatisfactory? ”
